Tinkertown Museum

IMG_1251

Yesterday we went to the Tinkertown Museum-- which, can I just say, is basically my dream in real-life form. It's this weird little place with tons of hand-carved wooden figures (you can push buttons to make them move!) and lots of other weird things like carnival memorabilia, dolls, a boat that sailed around the world, and other random oddities. In my dream world I would love to collect weird things and set up a strange little museum and charge people $3 to come look at everything. Obviously the carnival section was my favorite, which is why I have so many pictures of it. The miniatures there were incredible.

  4. Thanks guys! It really is such a weird little place, I loved it. It's kind of hidden on this little road at the foot of the mountain.

    @edgeindustrialphotography No I've never seen much of Roswell! I should watch it though, I'm sure it has the right atmosphere for this whole place.
